West, best known as the man behind Con Air and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, recently directed Jason Statham and Ben Foster in the remake of The Mechanic, and his next, Medallion, re-teams him with Nicolas Cage.

With a proven action director on-board, it's likely that much of the cast from the first film will reprise their roles, and will leave a wide array of possibilities open for West to expand the universe.
